TMOUT should be in /etc/profile and made read-only.
90 is an unrealistically low value. IMO.
TMOUT will NOT affect the user if they are "inside" a program.
For example, some users here leave their sessions in sqlplus overnight just so TMOUT doesn't clobber their session -- a violation of our security policy.
I have a RHEL 2.1 machine that I am trying to get to mount a remote nfs filesystem. Both servers have 2 network interfaces. My linux machine can mount the filesystem through one interface with no problems but if I switch over and try to mount it through the other interface using a totally... (1 Reply)
Hello,
I was wondering is there a way for SCP to shorten the timeout to fail when it attempts to connect a host that is down. Seems like it takes about a minute or so for scp to timeout. This is on a AIX 5.3 box.
I saw someone suggest use -o ConnectTimeout but the scp I use doesn't have that... (1 Reply)
Hi All,
I want to know whether we can timeout the cd command in unix.
If we can how is it implemented?
Suppose cd command hangs can we timeout the command.

When I run a script where the 1st parameter is ip address
ftp -n -i -v $1
I hang here if the ip is wrong
how to set a timeout something like
if (20s not complete "ftp -n -i -v $1") then
echo "error"

Thanks a lot. (14 Replies)
I want to write a small application using Libpcap in C on Linux.
Currently, it starts to sniff and waits for the packets. But that's not what I need actually. I want it to wait for N seconds and then stop listening. (I think there's something wrong with my usage of 'pcap_open_live'...)
How... (0 Replies)
Hi
I'm writing a script which based on a condition, restarts a set of servers. The problem I'm facing is, say if one of the server is down, my script stops there and fails to proceed. How can I ensure to set a timeout value on that script, so when the server is not reachable, the script should... (2 Replies)
Hello,
I'm doing a simple script with expect (a telnet which works without user/pass), and I want to put a condition if timeout happens, then to print a message, but it doesn't work. The script looks like below:
#!/usr/bin/expect
log_user 0
set timeout 10
spawn telnet IP PORT

I saw several thread for this issue but none addresses my issue.
I have tried read -t but the result is read bad options
My requirement is

2. If input = y or no input in 60 seconds
then continue processing
else
exit
fi
Kindly consider this urgent. (8 Replies)

glutIdleFunc(3GLUT) GLUT glutIdleFunc(3GLUT)NAME
glutIdleFunc - sets the global idle callback.
SYNTAX
void glutIdleFunc(void (*func)(void));
ARGUMENTS
func The new idle callback function.
DESCRIPTION
glutIdleFunc sets the global idle callback to be func so a GLUT program can perform background processing tasks or continuous animation
when window system events are not being received. If enabled, the idle callback is continuously called when events are not being received.
The callback routine has no parameters. The current window and current menu will not be changed before the idle callback. Programs with
multiple windows and/or menus should explicitly set the current window and/or current menu and not rely on its current setting.
The amount of computation and rendering done in an idle callback should be minimized to avoid affecting the program's interactive response.
In general, not more than a single frame of rendering should be done in an idle callback.
Passing NULL to glutIdleFunc disables the generation of the idle callback.
EXAMPLE
A typical idle callback to animate a window might look like:
void
idle(void)
{
time += 0.05;
glutSetWindow(window);
glutPostRedisplay();
}
Notice how the idle callback does not do any actual drawing; it only advances the time scene state global variable. That is left to the
window's display callback which will be triggered by the call to glutPostRedisplay.
If you use the idle callback for animation, you should be sure to stop rendering when the window is not visible. This is easy to set up
with a visibility callback. For example:
void
visible(int vis)
{
if (vis == GLUT_VISIBLE)
glutIdleFunc(idle);
else
glutIdleFunc(NULL);
}
If you do use the idle callback for animation, one thing you should not do is setup the idle callback before calling glutMainLoop. It is
much better to use the visibility callback to install idle callback when the window first becomes visible on the screen.
